If we had set out to alienate and antagonise the people we’ve been trying to reach, we could scarcely have done it better. This is how I feel, looking back on the past few decades of environmental campaigning, including my…Read more ›

An increase in ocean temperatures could significantly alter the distribution of phytoplankton populations, which could in turn have a major impact on climate change. According to a paper published recently in Science, ocean warming will cause populations of tiny marine…Read more ›

The problems of ocean acidity harming the marine food chain and ultimately upending West coast fishery production could be coming much sooner than expected. In a new paper published this week, NOAA scientists have found large scale evidence of severe…Read more ›

Existing economic models “grossly underestimate” the costs of global warming, undermining the urgency for deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new paper by leading UK climate change economist Lord Nicholas Stern. The risks are in fact likely…Read more ›

Burning natural gas to make electricity to run a 100 watt light bulb 24/7 for one year puts 1000 pounds of CO2 in the atmosphere. Heating oil is 1.3 times worse, and If we burn coal instead, “it will be…Read more ›

From Phys.org: Climate change is unlikely to lead to more days of extreme cold, similar to those that gripped the USA in a deep freeze last winter, new research has shown. The Arctic amplification phenomenon refers to the faster rate…Read more ›

From the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres: Precipitation pattern has changed over many regions in recent decades. There are evidences of increased heavy precipitation and decreased light precipitation in wide spread parts of the globe due to global warming. Many studies…Read more ›

The Post: I am trying to get an accurate picture of how much in subsidies the oil, coal and gas industries receive from the governments (i.e. us, as taxpayers) around the world. Please provide supporting documents, if you have or…Read more ›
